After Einstein we went by the Vietnam Memorial. After having lectured Christina the day before on the role of government, it's structure, responsibility and authority, I think it finally hit home that this stuff is important when, as we sank deeper and deeper into that black wall with the thousands and thousands of names, I told her of people she knows who lost loved ones in Vietnam, and that's why it's important for government to behave responsibly. I saw the light come on in her eyes, and I think all the marble and granite started making just a little sense to her.

We then went to the Lincoln Memorial. This is just a pic of us sitting on one of the four score and seven steps leading to the memorial. If you want to see the memorial, Wiki has better pics than I could've taken.
